Customer Comments: The width is 78" and height is 24". I would want a glass piece around 15" or 18".
Our Comments: We do not recommend adding a single piece of glass that large inside this type of fireplace. It will be too close to the fire and will most likely shatter from the heat. For applications like this, we recommend attached glass doors or a special angle frame with posts that holds a sheet of tempered glass about 4" away from the fireplace. Here are some examples.
Fireplace Opening: 78" W x 24" H
Before:
Aluminum is an excellent material for fireplace doors because it does not rust and can handle high temperatures when treated with powder coated finishes. It is also the most affordable.

Option #2: Design Specialties Brookfield Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with Clear Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Option #3: Design Specialties Legend Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with Clear Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Option #4: Hearth Creations Flat Steel Door with 1 1/2" Frame in Antique Black with Clear Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Option #5: Stone Manufacturing EDGE-2 Inside Fit Sliding Glass Door with Black Angle Iron Frame on Edge and Satin Nickel Channels. This door has 2 fixed panes of glass on the right and left sides and 2 sliding panes in the center.
Option #6: Stone Manufacturing Angle Frame with Floating Glass. This is a unique way of adding a single piece of glass that is far enough away from the fire to be safe. The 6 posts are attached to the angle frame and hold the glass about 4" away from the opening allowing it to remain stationary in front of the fireplace far enough away to help reduce the risk of the glass shattering.
